lost 26 26
no energy left for Laura, about time that the season is over.
Those long matches in Asia, especially those tough defeats against Strycova and Ciblukova killed her mentally and physically IMO.
But an awesome season obviously with Bastad title, Stuttgart Final, Olympics and 3rd round in Melbourne and NY, she can be really proud of her achievements.

Laura Siegemund: Heading into the 2016 season, Siegemund had won just six WTA main draw matches, but the German veteran made her presence known from the start of the year, when she upset former No.1 Jelena Jankovic to earn her career-best Grand Slam result at the Australian Open, reaching the third round. Things got even better for Siegemund at home, where she raced into the final of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. Falling to Kerber in the championship match, Siegemund nonetheless earned three consecutive Top 10 wins. She won her first WTA title in Bastad, and enjoyed runs to the quarterfinals in Charleston and the Olympics. Earning a career-high ranking of No.27, Siegemund is currently at No.29, 61 spots higher than where she started, and having bested her career-win total by over four times in this season alone, with 29 main draw victories. At the US Open, she partnered with Mate Pavic at the last minute to win the mixed doubles title.

Re: Laura Siegemund

Laura played a bad match in Linz R1. Many easy UEs

Golubic had nothing to lose (Laura was the favourite) and played well

Laura has no energy more after her long, successful season
This long, successful 2016 season took a lot of energy from Laura
(Stuttgart final, Rio Olympics QF, US Open Mixed title, just to name a few highlights)
Laura looked very tired physically and mentally. No energy left anymore
Soon is off-season, Laura ! Only Luxemburg, and then BREAK

Lucky to get the last seeding but opponent is not that easy, Golubic plays a good season and had good wins, I hope that Laura still can win it somehow!
2nd round would be probably against Görges!

Re: Laura Siegemund

Result itself is not bad at all but she should have won it today IMO!
from 75 04 to 75 *54 and again served for the match at *54 in 3rd set but wasted both chances, just got broken too many times in the end again.

Linz next, has some days off now to prepare for that event at least, hope that she can win some matches there!!

Siegemund vs. Strycova

Interesting match, there should be some nice rallies here, both interesting characters also, so there might be some drama as well, we´ll see
